warming is air pollution and its prolonged presence in Earth’s atmosphere‚ leading to the shrinkage of the polar ice caps and the destruction of coral reefs‚ which affect the lives of many animals. This effect is largely due to the holes in our atmosphere that are caused by the “greenhouse gases” that stem from air pollution. This factor of global warming is slowly contributing to the extinction of Earth’s arctic and tropical species’ of animals. If many of these animals were to become extinct‚ than

introduction lGlobalwarming refers to an unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system. Since 1971‚ 90% of the warming has occurred in the oceans. Despite the oceans’ dominant role in energy storage‚ the term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth’s surface. Since the early 20th century‚ the global air and sea surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two-thirds of the
